Is the 5.4 agent compatible with 2000? I thought it was just the 5.3?


Comments:
  • W2k is not supported with 5.4, this is correct.

Comments:
  • No problem. For future reference if you could post you replies in the comments instead of a new answer every time. It makes things easier for other who reference this in the future. - dugullett 11 years ago
  • Will do. Thanks again. - sbanks 11 years ago
  • You can also ask the support, while they create your credentials to download the needed file.
    I do it regulary ;)
    But I _REALLY_ suggest to throw W2k away as it is no more patched and there are security holes which can compromise the full company. - Nico_K 11 years ago

I havent been able to find that out yet.  Ive looked in the admin guide and it says it works on windows 2000..  but it doesnt say what version of the agent or how to prep the pc. (like it does for XP  ie simple file sharing off...)

  • When you get the 5.3 agent, you will need to create a label to exclude the Win2k systems from agent updates: http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/k1000-5-4-agent-will-not-install-on-windows-2000-or-rhel-3 - jknox 11 years ago

Thank you,

The most current matrix I could fine in the Kace kb was for agent version 5.1.

Do you have any idea where or if I can find 5.3.
